Former Sen. Arlen Specter (Pa.) writes in a new book that President Obama ditched him in the 2010 election after he helped Obama win the biggest legislative victory of his term by passing healthcare reform.
Specter also claims that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) did not uphold his promise to grant him seniority accrued over 28 years of service in the Senate as a Republican.
Specter, who rocked Washingtons political establishment and made headlines around the country when he left the Republican Party to join Democrats in April of 2009, has kept quiet about these slights until now ...

Well, we know he’s a liar. No argument there. But it was in the news back then, and he didn’t deny it. Maybe he lied then, and is lying now, but changed his mind and actually carried through with confirming Roberts and Alito in the middle.
He has his own crazy motives. He didn’t support Clarence Thomas because he was conservative, but because he was black, and he thought he was making points with black voters. Then, to his horror, he discovered that he had lost a ton of feminist voters in the process, so he immediately changed course—but too late to torpedo Thomas.
I can’t wait to buy his book. NOTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!
A little light in the belfry.
I can’t even believe that he believed he had a deal. This must be to sell books, or something.
"Trust me Arlen. You join our party and you gonna be king, buddy. Campaign money up the kazoo, seniority, choice of
committee chairmanships, earmarks, corner office, interns
galore.......the whole schmear."
“Whats the difference between Benedict Arnold and
Arlen Spector?
You can respect Benedict Arnolds leg”
Also, with Arnold it wasn’t that the British were untrustworthy so much as incompetent.
Feel used Spector? Too bad.
Surprise surprise..he tossed his grandmother under the bus too.
Your a prostitute, Arlen.
You don’t pay a prostitute for sex.... You pay her to leave. So get the heck on down the road , b#tch. You’ve been used, you got paid.... Now leave.
This is why prositutes always demand payment up front.
I don’t see it as nonsense or off topic.
ANYTHING that related to Santorum is now fair game.
** President Newt Gingrich-”Our beloved republic deserves nothing less.”
Okay, smart prositutes.
Along with about 200 other politicians................
Specter bragging about voting for Obamacare.....which will destroy the best medical care in the world, and bitching because he didn’t get paid off.....amazing.
Maybe he can sue under Scottish law.
Another example of a congress-critter only caring about what is in it for him/her.
Disgusting lack of honor. I despise these creeps.
Surreal.
